Fri 01 Jan 2009Dublin student gets a tasty slice of Apple's pie
TWENTY-YEAR-OLD Dublin student Steven Troughton-Smith has emerged as Ireland’s most successful software developer for Apple’s iPhone, generating revenues of up to $1,000 a day.
The first-year student of Digital Media Engineering at Dublin City University has developed Lights Off, a simple puzzle game, which sold almost 700 copies last Friday, just five days after it was released. Troughton-Smith estimates that if the sales of Lights Off and the other iPhone applications he has developed keep up, he could be grossing €9,000 a month.
